Hi, everyone!
For some time I have a problem with the sound on my Galaxy S3: once in 2-3 days the sound disappears in every application where it should be (audio and video players, alarm, ringtones etc). The native audioplayer shows a message "The player does not support this type of files". It looks like there is a problem with sound driver (but this is an amateur's opinion). After rebooting everything works fine - but again only for 2-3 days.
I've tried to change the firmware (installed Easy Project 4.1, android version 4.1.2) but the problem remains.
May be someone knows, what can be the cause of this problem and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

Well, thanks.
The thing is that it is not because of the firmware of Easy Project because the same trouble was with previous custom firmware (don't remember what it was). I am thinking over the getting back to original firmware and look if this problem appears again - just expected that may be there is another solution )
P.s. About the site - yes, it is a torrent place for russians )

Hello all
I hope you are doing well
So I have a lovely white Galaxy S3, working perfectly like a charm
an Arabic keyboard and language is available "by default"
I switched a few days ago to a Blue S3 ..
The first issue was that there were no Arabic keyboard or language in the phone.
The other issue is that the internet is EXTREMELY PAINFULLY SLOW, like it's impossible for me to even open "Play" market, loading the default google page would take up 2 minutes and much worse.
So i tried looking for the same exact ROM that was installed on my white one.
found it, flashed the phone using ODIN with the new ROM.
Again there was no Arabic language, internet issue wasn't solve, a NEW issue came out which is "Messaging" app doesn't work anymore at all, whenever I launch the app, I get the "Messaging has stopped", I tried reseting to factory settings, didn't work, and it seems my friend is also suffering with the internet issue with his device
any help please ! I'm really starting to hate androids .. .
Go to CWM, wipe everything.
Then flash the ROM, Modem, CSC, Kernel, ... etc you used.
It should work, if not then either you got a defective unit (improbable) or the phone wasn't really fully wiped.
thank you for your reply
what is CWM ?
How do I know what were my default rom ?

CWM = clockwork mod recovery requires root and root invalidates your warranty .
Default rom whatever came with the phone or find one for your location and network from the Stock Rom thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_III/GT-I9300
Just carry out a standard factory reset no need for a CWM wipe and then flash stock rom .
Modem or CSC can be flashed separately .

[i don't know what I'm doing]

Did you make a backup of your stock ROM?
If not try the stock firmware thread..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I didn't backup my stock rom and i don't know which is
my default one, tried downloading and flashing 3 roms up until now
all the same
no arabic
messaging still not working ..
I'm really a newbie in all of this .. .
some guy mentioned in another topic flashing then switching your sales code which worked for him
i did the same but it appears i have no sales code at all to switch between .. .
so i traced the messaging issue to a point where everyone had the same issue did this
1- check your CSC by dialing *#1234#
i did the same and I got "CSC: unknown"
the solution is to flash the CSC from the official topic
i flashed now 2 packages, still getting "unknown" message, how do I tell
which CSC is for my phone ?
U need to find a career or country specific firmware so Arabic is enabled.
Search "intratech" in general forum and find your country or region firmware and flash that.
And use "Samsung galaxy s3 toolkit" to flash your rom.it's in the development forum
Problem Solved :good:
Thank You for bearing with a noob like me guys
I really appreciate all your help
and just to describe what happened in case others had the same issue
I went to the official topic for the stock firmwares and since I didn't know what was my stock ROM, I kept downloading many ROMS based on where I bought my phone from "like getting all UK ROMS if you ordered your phone from there".
I kept flashing and dialing ( *#1234# ) after each flash to check my CSC, once I found a working ROM that got the CSC right, I switched the CSC region to "ARB", rebooted the phone, and it all worked
Arabic language became available + Messaging is back to normal + Internet issue seems to be solved "for now"
So thanks everyone .. . :highfive:
sup everybody I just got my first ever droid today and much to my delight its the international version of the Samsung Galaxy SIII.
now heres the issue. its the GT-9308 version...so my question is :
if I root my phone is there anyway to change the rom[??] from this chinese mobile one [supposedly unlocked] that is lacking google play and is still partially in mandarin [which ya boy can't even slightly comprehend] to the GT-i9300 one?
the attachment is a screenshot of the about device section.
I know this is probably impossible but if it is possible I'm not screwed and there is still hope lol. a preemptive thanks to anyone who can shed some light
The China Mobile version ???

ahhh thank you i searched for a similar thread but i guess it didnt show up cuz it says asian in the title instead of china
not trying to bump that other thread but the only thing that really tells me is that I'm probably SOL.
so my NEW question is. any possible way I could go about implementing the modem driver from the GT-i9308 into the GT-i9300 rom so I get the google play and full english capabilities without the bloatware in addition to the phone still working?
I'll take that as a no then?

You can root your phone just do not change the modem otherwise your phone will not work. There are several chinese forums (use chrome to translate) that have very easy instructions for rooting which will allow google play to be installed.
Same boat
I am in China and found myself in the same boat..... i hosed my system after mucking about with it ... first android phone ... i am presently putting together all the links and things i did to get mine de china mobilized and google working .. rooted and a custom ROM or two that work... i have a newer hardware version then most people ... most have hardware version 5.0 ... i have 6.0 .... first attempt at rooting was fine... after that i added a rom... backed up and used the same modem firmware .... phone would not get past the start up screen... but thank god i could still put into recovery mode and get back to the firmware screen.. so i knew it could be saved... so i went through the Chinese forums ... no one had the latest hardware version ... but a release of the "official samsung rom" was the reason my phone was the way it was .... so i found another "Official" rom .... as it turned out it put my phone back into a working order ... the other thing is i am using OSX .... i had to muck about with different version of various pieces of software to get it all done... like i said i am throwing together all the links and everything i did to get mine going ... many of these links will require some authentication to Chinese sites .. weibo qq etc ...
I will try to re share the software i have downloaded ..but i am not maintaining them so not sure how good an idea this is...but the links will help the other "whites" as the chinese describe us foreigners in their forums "so easy a white can do it" after translation....
I just wanted to thank those on XDA with their posts ..... they did help, with information that got me going in the right direction.... this is my first Android since a Telus Fascinate .. which i gave to one of my programers/friends on my architecture team to root... other then that a iphone user ... hard to really brick one of these phones if you do the common sense back ups and such...
Once again thank you... i will have a full break down of my adventure in a day or two.... back to my work.
Cheers
some instructions feel free to contact me i will try and help
I have a i9308 and any of the newer release of the "official firmware' messed up my start up and made it loop...
I installed this using Heimdall skipped the bootloader as it seems to fail in both odin and Heimdall on hardware build 6.00
I found the newest official rom bbs dot anzhi dot com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=6344702 ... sorry not enough posts to send out side links ... i under stand.
everything else worked fine.... after this and i was able to back and do the usual install of CWM ..... which failed using Heimdall ... again on the bootloader .... so using Odin it worked ... i used virtual box and Windows 7 ... with the latest Samsung drivers ....i had to create a specific interface for the Samsung in virtual box so the i9308 would mount with out conflict in windows .... i was then able to install CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 ...
Once rooted i started looking for a way to install google play and all the google services.
i installed this ROM anzhi_karben_samsung_i9308_V1.0 which had the google drivers i needed and was not full of to much other crap and worked well in english ... i found this here bbs dot anzhi dot com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=6198323 i used my Wiebo account to do this and was then able to download.
I got the google pack ..... well one that worked and after i checked everything did not have any malicious scripts that i could find ... bbs dot anzhi dot com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=5401203 ... the zip file was gapps-ics-20120429-signed-4.0.4
i hope this helps some people Heimdall took a little after i figured out how to do this.... it was easy ... i have wiped it out a few times i nthe last week and tried different ROMs from the various Chinese boards ...some made very odd requests for SU access here and there ...i generally removed them after trying to find the offending script .... as i said so far the ones i am using have been pretty safe with little to no issues. I did go in and remove a lot of the preloaded China Mobile wares ...so far the phone is great ... i do fid the wifi signal sucks....
My first android i rooted myself ...see what happens after a drunk night in a taxi in Beijing and you lose your iPhone.... having fun.
S2 GT-I9308 Unlock
Hello
Someone gave me an I9308
I'm trying to use it with my French Sim Card. So i need to be able to unlock it.
I've been able to root and install custom firmware as described above.
I've tried to use GalaxySim Unlock application, but it says "Device not recognized"
I've tried to use the "trick" to unlock, but , the current firmware official version on the I9308 is 4.0.4, and with this version, "Network Unlock" is not working.
In order to try the trich with proper version :
I've tried to install 4.1.1 version for I9300, but it fails with modem
I've tried to install 4.1.1 version with modem.img from 4.0.4, it works but the phone is no more booting, it locks at "samsung" logo and vibrate one time pause one seconds, vibrates three times pause one seconds and again.
So two questions :
How to install a newer versions of android when no offcial version have yet been released ?
How to unlock the I9308 with 4.0.4 in it ?
Thanks.
It is the modem drivers that are the problem. China Mobile has not released a official upgrade yet. But I left instructions for rooting in my previous post.

old post late reply, i know but nvm that, anyway if anyone is still interested in this, here i have the right solution. recently i have been collecting some old Samsung phones, i managed to get hold of a Chinese 9308, as u know, all i9300 roms/twrp work on 9308, but can't detect SIM card/mobile network, however i found one version of the MIUI6 roms, so far so good, everything appear to work perfectly, has all languages, Google play services & framework most importantly, 3G works fine too. i will shortly provide links to the downloads.
Would you like please send the link for this MIUI ?

the problem is, i still have to upload them somewhere 1st, as one of the original links is no longer working and although the other one still is (there were two of them), but it was on baidu cloud, both, u need a baidu account to be able to dl stuff, i clearly remember i couldnt download them myself, and i wasnt able to create a baidu account either, but luckily i found someone who could & did download them for me and sent those files to me afterwards, so now we have to work out a way 4 me 2 send those files from my PC to other users out there.

first is i own a samsung galaxy s2 i9100 on the three network in the UK, had the phone about a year and successfully flashed ics rooted 4.0.4 on my device.
when I did this everything worked fine except my camera and the ability to watch videos.. skype was fine although i can only see the calling party and not myself.. my own video being always black regardless.
I still have all the files needed should you need to know these. just let me know.
I'm truly sorry about this.. but after all this time im at my whits end with how to solve this..
can you help me?
yours
a very tired dreammaster.
stock kernal on ics 4.0.4 had a camera issue on the sgs 2 when firstflashed.
Just change the kernal to a siyah 4.1.5 or any similiar kernal without the mali drivers and your phone should work fine.
there was also a camera fix in one of the forums.

Hi everyone.
I own a Galaxy S3 mobile device, and I haven't gotten an upgrade for a really long time. My current Andriod version is 4.1.2, and when I try to look for updates it tells me that the last updates are already installed. Maybe it has to do with me living in Israel and having the phone's language on Hebrew? Is there a way I can download the new update through the phone (Not from Samsung's website, third-party programs etc.)?
Another thing, today I started playing with Google Now, because as far as I know it's much better than S Voice, and it has support in Hebrew, which is really great - I don't know of any other program that can support Hebrew. When I searched something like the weather it did display it, although it displayed it in Hebrew and didn't read it out loud to me. I tried changing the Google Now language to English, so I had to ask in English, but the results were still in Hebrew and therefore weren't read out loud. The only thing that made it change was changing the phone's language to English, something I don't want to do, because I want all the settings and words to be in Hebrew.
Another issue is that if I said "Open Youtube" it didn't open it when the phone language was set to Hebrew, although it did open it when it was English, even though this whole time Google Now's language was in English.
Lastly, when I changed the phone's language to English, all of the sudden there were alot of cards with information in Google Now, although when it was in Hebrew there were no cards at all.
Is there a way I can have all these features without changing the whole phone's langauge to English, even if it means it will show all the information in English?
Thank you very much and I'm really sorry I wrote alot
P.S. Sorry If I had any grammar/spelling mistakes, English isn't my mother language, and sorry if I broke any of the site's rules, it's my first post in this website, and I couldn't find an answer to my problem anywhere.

There are tons of articles online how to update through kies/odin, just google it..... there is a latest firmware out there, try it....
Would you be able to do that?
And there is no coming back after your on 4.3 if you don't have a backup your efs (it converts your efs v1 to v2 ) Edit : except ML4
and it requires root access so make sure you know it.......

You can go back to 4.1.2 just fine as long as it's MG4 or above. I downgraded from 4.3 to 4.1.2 just fine, didn't lose my IMEI or need to restore my EFS (although I did have a backup anyway, it wasn't needed).

Yes, but I want to update through the phone's update system and not through other programs, but it tells me there aren't any updates. So I just have to wait untill it will be released?
And what's so bad about 4.3 that alot of people want to downgrade from it?
Thanks for the help

They are the same, just different csc codes and modem, is not much of a problem.
Samsung pushes it's updates in parts depending on the region.... I also was like you waiting for the official update to come through OTA but my patience broke,,,,, i had to update.......
Some (older versions of 4.3 ROMS) are quite buggy, they have wake up lag, lockscreen lag, random reboots, notification problems etc etc.
I am on 4.3 and face none of these, and to me, the device seems more fluid and battery friendly..... I'll recommend you to move on!

Hello guys
suddenly my s3 died while i kept on charging in morning.
now it wont boot up at all nor in recovery or download mode.
phone was rooted and was running custom rom of 4.1.2 ( previous rom s5 sensation ).
i have tried many diffrent battries and try to put on charging but still its showing no sign of waking up.
i need help urgently. is it a hardware problem or software problem.???
If you have the 16GB version and your software wasn't new enough, you might have been victim of the sudden death bug.
Note that 4.1.2 was updated several times throughout its lifespan, the older ones are subject to the sudden death bug, only on the 16GB galaxy S3.
